PA1 and 2, Sprayer MOT and NRoSO

[tullah]

Are PA1 and 2, Sprayer Mot and Nroso all necessary LEGAL requirements for people outside crops assurance?

 

[Still Farming]

PA1 and PA2 with application and chemical.
Mot and points not YET?

 

[Lofty1984]

Nrso isn’t

 

[Nearly]

Agronomists are under pressure for sight of an MOT every 3 years.

 

[Chae1]

I mot mine every year. Not a big expense or hassle. I do some contract spraying too so partially covers my arse in event of a insurance claim.

 

[Wombat]

Pa1 and pa2 yes and I think sprayer MoT is once every 3 yrs by law

 

[Hesstondriver]

Pa1 and pa2 yes and I think sprayer MoT is once every 3 yrs by law

PA 1& 2 is a legal requirement, as is a sprayer MOT every 3 years once the machine is 5 years old.

National Sprayer Testing Scheme > Legislation

I get mine done every year but currently RT assured but wont be re-newing but will still have it done, it's simple quick and non too expensive and to be fair there is hardly anything needs doing to it.

Not technically true, as some of us upgraded from grandfather rights to a certificate that isn’t PA 1 or 2. Not allowed to go out contracting with it though

Apologies. I'm not familiar with the Grandfather Rights aspect of the PA certificates. Presumably you had to justify your eligibility for the certificate in response to legislation on the matter?

What does it cost for sprayer mot and who does it? Just got a cheap jarmet sprayer here but dont think i can bluff farm assurance that its still under 5 years old much longer.

 

[tullah]

Thanks for the rulings.

It was a city and guilds NPTC level2 award in safe use of pesticides, replacing Grandfather rights.
A very basic assessment.

That's alright, it would still meet RT imports assurance standards guess it could be DDT he's wafting about the place

 

[Kidds]

Didn't the chair of Red Tractor vote to allow imports of food that do not meet the standards that UK farmers are required to meet?

Its ok tho because we can just import it from there and look the other way and all is OK

At the price they are, move it on and buy another...

Should get a few hundred off eBay?

Just park it out of sight and say a contractor does the spraying
